I cant play anysongs on my guitar?

Question

i had my guitar for about a month and i still can play anything! i know my chords but when it comes to songs i s uck! do u know any easy songs? PLZZZZ help

Answer 1

I graduated with a degree in music education.  One of the requirements for the degree is that we had to take 1 Semester of guitar.  I can honestly tell you that I don't think I have ever been so bad at something starting out.  

It is very good that you know your chords.  Most people want to learn a whole bunch of 'cool' riffs and neat sounding melodies, but they don't learn any of the basics.  Since you already know a lot of chords you are ahead of the game.

The best thing you can do is practice.  The more time you put in, the better you will get.

A fun way to practice is to search for a guitar tab site that you can easily navigate through: http://www.guitarfreetabs.com  http://www.mxtabs.net

It is also really useful when you get tabs to a song that you have a recording of and can play along with so you know immediately of any mistakes and can fix them.

After you learn the basics, it becomes much easier to learn some of the more difficult things about the instrument.

Answer 2

Go with what Prologue says...  Tabs are easy to read and straight forward.  It's not fun to play at first when you have to look at the tabs and learn how to distinguish the numbers on the page to which fret to play on.  But like always, practice makes perfect!  Find your favorite song, something easy enough for a beginner, look it up on www.ultimate-guitar.com, and print it out.  Sometimes, you are going to have to turn on the song to play along with it.  Ultimate-guitar.com is probably the best site out there for guitar tabs.  But be careful, look at the stars on the right of the song to see how good the tab was rated... All the tabs are made by people like you and me.  Find the one with the most stars.  Welcome to the guitar world!  : )
